Decluttering Sessions
Clutter is something we all struggle to keep up with. I help by bringing objective perspective and gentle accountability to the process, which can help you make confident decisions about what to keep, donate, or discard without feeling overwhelmed. Rather than just clearing surfaces, I use my experience to guide you, step-by-step, through sorting items into logical categories, uncovering the root causes of clutter, and freeing up valuable space in your home. By taking on the heavy lifting—from organizing donation drops to streamlining decision-making—I can transform a daunting, emotional task into a manageable, empowering experience that creates lasting breathing room in your daily life.

Value Assessment + Reselling Advice
I have 7 years of experience with reselling, both locally and online on various platforms including eBay, Poshmark, Depop, Amazon, Vinted, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp. I will leverage this experience to assess the value and resell-ability of your items as part of a decluttering session or as a standalone option. This can also include platform-specific guidance for listing and/or listing (selling) items on your behalf.

Project Support
Sometimes it's a single project that needs my focused expertise and momentum. I love targeting overhauls with a limited scope. Whether you are building an art studio or tackling a shift to a home office, I can assist in evaluating your specific requirements and design customized systems that maximize functionality. Instead of applying a generic fix, I'll lead you through potential solution options to create a streamlined, low-maintenance space in a fraction of the time it would take to tackle alone.
Holiday + Decor Organization
Holiday + Decor Organization
Let me simplify the chaos of holiday decorating by establishing an intuitive, stress-free system for both setup and post-season takedown. I'll sort out broken and dated items, create labeled, accessible storage solutions tailored to your specific needs, and ensure your holiday decorations remain protected, easy to find, and ready to enjoy for years to come. This can also be expanded to include post-holiday home organization, especially helpful when gift-giving has rendered old clothing, decor, or other home items obsolete.
Moving + Relocation Preparation
Moving + Relocation Preparation
Moving is hard, but I can help in transforming the process into an efficient, low-stress transition by managing the logistics of your belongings before and after the move. Before packing begins, I'll guide you through targeted decluttering, ensuring you only spend time and money transporting what you truly need and love. I'll help in systemizing the packing process with detailed labeling and inventorying, making unpacking seamless. This can also include setting up functional, intuitive systems tailored to your new space right away—setting up kitchens, closets, and living areas so your new house instantly feels like home without weeks of living among unopened boxes.
Kid Spaces
Kid Spaces
The parent-child conflict created by cluttered, messy spaces is often a difficult one to patiently navigate. I help by taking an engaging approach to helping children learn the fundamentals of decluttering and organization in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. By breaking down the process into fun, simple choices, I guide kids to curate their favorite toys and books while letting go of items they have outgrown. Together we design age-appropriate, visually clear systems that match a child’s developmental stage and capabilities. This hands-on collaboration not only restores order to playrooms and bedrooms, but also teaches kids independence and pride in maintaining their space.
Client Testimonials
Client Testimonials
"Katie has helped three times for me now, and I would hire her back any day. She has a knack for seeing solutions I never could have come up with. The most recent is my pantry which actually works for me and my family now! I'm sure we're saving money by not wasting food we didn't know we had. She's great!" Millie A.
"We hired Katie to help our preteen daughter tackle her overwhelming bedroom. Katie was able to get the stuffed animals, clothing, and book situations under control, and developed a system to keep them functional. She never threw anything out or forced our child to get rid of things that she wanted to keep. Because of this, our daughter felt empowered to evaluate and make decisions on her own. I can't reccomend Katie enough." Katherine B.
"Katie helped me organize my home pottery studio after deciding to redo my garage into something creative. Her solutions for storage and quick understanding of my processes made for a system that really works for me. I love my new setup and am thankful for her help in making my dream studio a reality!" Lucia M.
"Getting Katie before my move was easily the best decision I made. She helped me sort through years of clutter so we only packed things we actually use and love. Her super organized labeling system took away so much of the typical moving prep stress. I saved so much time and hassle. I honestly can’t imagine moving without her help!" Shayla K.
